Admissions Tips

Pickering Fellowship application now open

A plug today for the Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship Program, which has recently opened its 2022 application cycle. Funded by the US Department of State, the Pickering Fellowship is a go-to opportunity for aspiring Foreign Service Officers. The highly-selective program provides tuition funding and stipend support for a two-year Master’s program in return for a five-year commitment in the Foreign Service. Loads of Pickering Fellows have come through Fletcher over the years, and Thomas Pickering himself is a Fletcher alumnus. The recommendation here is for anyone with Foreign Service aspirations to get working on their Pickering Fellowship applications soon!
